RE: Skymaster/BVM
I guess BVM will be doing something scimilar to what they did with Tam's F18 and fitting some decent gear in one or some of Skymasters airframes. The Mig would be nice..

RE: Skymaster/BVM
As a customer/owner/builder of multiple SM and BVM jets....this could be a good/great move for both companies.
Hopefully BVM will bring a degree of service, QC, and support that was sometimes lacking in the previous SM products and sales channels. On the other hand, street pricing will likely increase.
I'm sure that BVM has lost significant market share to the Asian imports over the last 5 years or so, seriously affecting his business - this could be a great way to maintain revenues in a declining market. On the other hand, BV's greatest asset - his sterling reputation - is at stake.
Let's hope it works out for everyone!

RE: Skymaster/BVM
If this means that BVM will now give Anton access to his F-100 molds, so that the kit could be updated to molded wings, made and ARF and, brought down in price, I'm all for it!
Place my order!

The BVM F-100 HAS molded wings.....it never had built up balsa wings.
You must be thinking about the large (80") F-86.
It has built up wings to not have the 2% deduction for molded wings at Top Gun.

RE: Skymaster/BVM
Well I guess I am one now..... a BVM/Skymater rep.
Skymaster has done a good job of improving their products over the years and the market share they have created is self evident. They have allot of models to choose from and they have created an product that can be out of the box and in the air flying with a minimum of effort and that in itself has value.
I will open the doors for whole new group of customers.
MIG 29 inbound.
The sandbox just got allot bigger.
